Crazy First Hand on Table 1

It's not often you see three big pocket pairs run into each other in the same hand, let alone the first hand of the day, but that's exactly what's happened here on Day 2.

Tim Nimitz opened for 10,000 under the gun and cleared the field all the way around to Brian Jordan in the small blind. Jordan proceeded to three-bet to 55,000, and then suddenly Fred Perez moved all in from the big blind for a little more. Nimitz moved all in over the top and Jordan called.

Jordan: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Perez: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}
Nimitz: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

It was a bit of a cooler for Nimitz and Jordan on the very first hand of Day 2. The {5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop kept Perez in the lead for the main pot, while Nimitz was ahead in the side. Neither the {7-Hearts} turn nor {A-Hearts} river had an impact on the hand and Perez tripled, Nimitz lost a little overall by winning the side, and Jordan lost about a third of his chips.
